Okay, I can agree with that. However, if there are foul ups, it's the responsibility of the director to call them on it and then have it fixed. We all know what a self-proclaimed "perfectionist" GL claims to be. We all know he demands numerous reshoots. In my mind, this is GL calling his cast and crew on foul ups and directing them to do a better job (at least, a "better job" in his mind). So, the resulting movies are his best effort at directing a cast and crew of hundreds, maybe even thousands, to produce the end result he so desires. If these are his "end results," then it's obvious his directing is lacking.
